hey there list,
Well, it's been a crazy coupla weeks, so less posts than usual coming from
this corner. Stephanie, you caught me, I didn't post the playlist with the
We album mention....but here it is. Thanks for caring. :-)
Also, I'll soon be switching over to the new (high-speed. yippee!) e
address above; this means unsubscribing from the list under this e address,
and re-subscribing, correct? It's been a while....
Alrighty. Here are the lists. I really, really, really recommend the
'Street Angels' comp. Ciao for now.

There were two 'Picks of the Week' today with both we's latest,
"Decentertainment," and the fantastic "Street Angels" compilation of
Brazilian brilliance grabbing my ears and attention. Decentertainment
(Liquid Sky) is, arguably, the strongest we release to date. It's
certainly their most cohesive and listenable album, blending beats, breaks,
dub, drum & bass, and experiments in electronics into one fine, flowing
listen. Check www.liquidskymusic.com for more info.
Street Angels (Mr. Bongo) is "a benefit album for the street children of
Brazil," raising funds for the Street Angels charity based in Salvador,
Brazil. The album itself features all original material, recorded
specifically for this project, by some of the country's legends (Joyce,
Luis Bonfa, Dom Um Romao, Banda Black Rio) and many contemporary innovators
(Otto, Arakatuba, Ithamara Koorax). The range of sounds and styles is
immense, making for a fantastic listen. I can't recommend this one enough.
Check www.mrbongo.com for more info on the album, artists, charity, and
goals for the funds raised.

'twas a crazy busy one filled with ringing phones, giveaways galore, and
surprise guests. I dropped a number of tracks from the heavily requested
INCredible Sound of Gilles Peterson compilation, letting one of my
favourite sections of this mixed CD roll for curious listeners. Fase, hip
hop producer and soul/funk/hip hop DJ, dropped by to mix some tunes and
talk about his upcoming Gypsy Co-op gig with partner-in-creations MC
Abdominal. You can catch Fase spinning Tuesdays at NASA bar on the regular.
The 'Pick of the Week' was the absolutely gorgeous, full-length deep house
album by Toronto's own Sirus (aka Marcus Turcotte). On the Edge of a Dream
will be released June 19th by the U.K.'s NRK label, the same folks who put
out Nick Holder's From Within; guess they have a thing for top-notch T.O.
house music. Marcus goes way back in Toronto house history - producing with
the infamous Hayden way back when; recording for Nick's DNH label; and
going on to start up his own Escape label. Here, via nine tracks of
seriously beautiful, warm, well-crafted house, he has blown my mind. Look
for it when it hits shops.
